• Abstract:
  Let me welcome you also to the first public antimisting fuel conference. I am not going to waste any time now telling you what antimisting fuel is or what it does. The fact that you are here is an indication that you have some understanding of the subject we are going to be talking about for 2 days. Let me just say that we have been working on the problem of aircraft cabin fire safety for several years. Our research includes work not just on antimisting kerosene, but it includes work on better cabin interior materials, evacuation slides, and emergency lighting. That is a pretty important "shopping list". I think you all know that of all the items we are working on, the FAA's special aviation, fire and explosion reduction advisory committee (SAFER) noted that fully developing the antimisting kerosene (AMK) technology could prove to be the single, most significant safety improvement to reduce the post-crash fire hazard.
